What Lies Below

If you find it again, the bathroom floor - which means the inclusion of your tile, sheet vinyl or ceramic tile and underlayments you should make sure that there are no signs of water damage on the floor and check whether it so firmly. In setting a new floor, the main question is always "I can tile over the existing floor or do I pick up the old first?"

"Support beams (metal rods), at or near the center of the bar help. Shall Before drafting theSubsoil, usually a 3 / 4 "tongue and groove chipboard, plywood or similar material. Above that there is a1 / 4" plywood or cement board (insensitive) to moisture, which is called the subsoil and may also have a piece of roofing felt or similar material for extra cushioning. Be especially careful if using subsoil above the floor, as the ground can crack if the game is on, it seems best to stagger the seams.

Ceramic Tile: Since this type of tilehas become popular in the kitchen, bathrooms, halls and lounges for its durability and style, I would like to dedicate this section to this issue.

Change install ceramic tiles in the bathroom is the amount of fixtures such as toilets, sinks and vanity cabinets and doors and the next room, it is best to remove everything and start from scratch. This means removing the old and the subsoil. You need a flat surface or the tiles will create crack or break.Most ceramic tile is ¼ "thick, so that you have added up to ¾" to condition the old floor, you were made of plastic or vinyl record from the beginning.

Do this for all sides and lay down as before. * If you have all the pieces, you must wait until a least a day not to "set" properly - that is an important step before you put the joints. When you are ready mix tile mortar around a quarter of the space in a time when you do this time to right. Take the cross spacers and apply grout with aGrout float, float operation then pull the trigger in a corner of the excess grout. Do this step with the rest of the room. * The final step is to moisten a clean sponge with water and wipe the access mortar Rinse the sponge frequently.
